Meanwhile, in the life of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg

The whole life
  1. 1803–1809

    Progress and friction with Abildgaard

    He makes good progress painting historical pictures, portraits and landscapes, but friction with Abildgaard impedes his advancement; to earn a living he works as a hand labourer and makes drawings for copperplate etchings. A self-portrait from 1803 survives from these years.

  2. 15 September 1808

    Son born: Erling Eckersberg

  3. 1809

    Great Gold Medal of the Academy

    Only after Abildgaard's death does he win the Academy's Great Gold Medal. A travel stipend is promised together with the medal, but the funds will not be made available until 1812.
